Subject: Announcing a Matlab object oriented finite element toolkit SOFEA
I would like to announce that the MATLAB object-oriented Finite Element
toolkit SOFEA and the book 'A Pragmatic Introduction to Finite Element
Analysis for Structural Engineers' are being provided in open-source form to
all interested parties.
The toolkit is a re-factoring of an older toolbox, and currently incorporates
transient thermal analysis with linear and quadratic elements, with stress
analysis coming shortly. The intention is to make the translation from
formulas to code as easy to understand as possible, since the primary audience
are graduate and senior undergraduate students.
The toolkit provides a capable automatic mesh generator for triangular meshes
in arbitrary two-dimensional domains, with fine control of gradation and
preservation of points and edges of the geometry. Generation of
three-dimensional meshes is currently limited to simple geometries.
By making both resources available I'm hoping to be able to collect feedback
and suggestions, and to initiate an exchange of ideas and insights concerning
the MATLAB toolkit SOFEA.
Both the book and the toolkit are being intensively developed at this point,
so please do not forget to check the link
http://hogwarts.ucsd.edu/~pkrysl/sofea
for updates.

GPGPU workshop at ICCS2006
GPGPU stands for General-Purpose Computation Using Graphics Hardware: The raw
computational power of commodity graphics processors (GPUs) exceeds CPU peak
performance by at least an order of magnitude, and GPU performance increases
at a significantly faster rate than CPU performance. Coupled with recent
advances in programmability and floating point support, GPUs have evolved into
a highly attractive platform for computationally demanding tasks in a wide
variety of application domains: GPUs are are no longer restricted to the
graphics-specific rendering tasks for which they were originally designed,
instead, they are now capable parallel coprocessors for general purpose
computations (GPGPU).
This workshop, taking place in conjunction with the International Conference
on Computational Science 2006 (www.iccs-meeting.org), will bring together
researchers, developers and practitioners from both academia and industry
working on GPGPU-related topics. We cordially invite authors to submit papers
presenting original, unpublished research in the area of GPGPU. Results should
be novel and include new techniques or applications. Submitted papers will be
fully peer-reviewed, and accepted contributions will be published in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), Springer-Verlag. Submission deadline
is December 16, 2006.

Subject: Call for abstracts, Symposium of Immersed Boundary Method, July 2006
SYMPOSIUM ON THE IMMERSED BOUNDARY METHOD AND ITS EXTENSIONS
The International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) has announced
the Seventh World Congress (WCCM-VII) to be held in Century Plaza Hotel & Spa
at Century City, Los Angeles, California, USA, July 16-22, 2006.
As part of the Congress, and because of continuing and growing interest in
this topic shown in both computational mechanics and applied mathematical
sciences communities, we are organizing a multi-session symposium entitled
'The Immersed Boundary Method and Its Extensions.' This gathering will help
to disseminate recent advances and ideas concerning multi-scale and
multi-physics modeling with immersed boundary methods. The broad topics of
this symposium include fundamental developments, mathematical theories and
algorithms, high performance computing, and various applications related to
the immersed boundary method and its extensions. In particular, we welcome the
participation of researchers working in various aspects of modeling of
biological systems. The symposium will also complement the Plenary Lecture
that Charles Peskin will give to the Congress.
If you are interested in participating in the Symposium, please submit an
abstract of no more than one page. The abstracts submission deadline is
November 15, 2005. All Abstracts must be submitted to the selected
minisymposium via the WCCM-VII website at
http://www.wccm2006.northwestern.edu/.
Organizer: Aaron Fogelson, University of Utah
Co-Organizer: X. Sheldon Wang, New Jersey Institute of Technology
Symposium Dinner to honor Charlie Peskin: In the year of his 60th birthday, we
are planning a 'small and quiet' dinner one evening during the Congress. At
this time, we are trying to gauge the number of possible dinner attendees and

I am writing to invite you to submit one-page Abstracts for presentation at
the following minisymposium:
Multilevel Stabilized Methods or Other Methods for Convection Dominated
Problems by Finite Elements and/or Wavelets
Organized by Maria Morandi Cecchi (mcecchi@math.unipd.it) and Leonidas
S. Xanthis
at the 2006 World Congress on Computational Mechanics to be held in Century
Plaza Hotel & Spa at Century City, los Angeles, California, USA, July 16-22,
2006
The abstract Submission deadline is November 15, 2005.
All Abstracts must be submitted to the selected Minisymposia via the
WCCM-VII website at http://www.wccm2006.northwestern.edu/
Description: A number of important phenomena are modeled by
advection-diffusion equations. It is well known that in this problem the
presence of the convection operators renders the Galerkin formulation
inadequate. This has motivated the development of new Galerkin-like
formulations that preclude oscillations without the need of mesh refinement or
time step refinement. Such alternatives are called stabilization techniques
and have provided a major breakthrough in the finite element modeling of such
problems. In truly transient situations another important issue is to ensure
the proper coupling between spatial and temporal discretizations. Space-time
coupling is indeed particularly critical when convection dominates the
transport process, due to the directional character of propagation of
informations in hyperbolic problems. The stabilization methods that are most
known are: Streamline-Upwind Petrov Galerkin (SUPG), Galerkin Least Squares
(GLS), Taylor-Galerkin (TG), Dicontinous Galerkin (DG), Finite Incremental
Calculus (FIC) and Dinamically Adaptive Wavelet Method (DAW). The emphasis
will be on monotone shocks capturing methods and/or any other technique with
the potential of very high order accuracy both in space and time. Methods for
stabilization may be considered in weighted residual finite elements of finite
volume formulations.

Two graduate and two postdoctoral positions are available. The overall
goal of the project is to create a data-driven, high performance
computational framework for inverse problems for nonlinear elliptic,
convection-diffusion, and electromagnetic scattering problems. The
research focus will be on the development and implementation of
multigrid solvers, optimizers, and PDE simulators that enable the
rapid solution of multiple inverse problems. Applications are related
to computer vision, medical imaging and computer assisted surgery, and
data assimilation for real-time identification of hazardous events
from sensor measurements.
Students will have excellent collaborative opportunities with a
multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary group of researchers from
computational and applied mathematics, geophysics, computer science,
and radiology. The postdoctoral positions are open for an initial
duration of 12 months, starting immediately, and will be renewable.
Postdoctoral candidates should have a strong background in computational
and applied mathematics---in particular partial differential
equations. Experience in parallel and scientific computing and
programming expertise in C++ are necessary.
